Of a faire woman; translated out of Casaneus his Catalogus gloriae mundi

THese thirty things that Hellens fame did raise,
A Dame should haue that seeks for beuties praise
Three bright, three blacke, three red, 3. short, 3. tall,
Three thick, three thin, three close, 3. wide, 3. small:
Her skin, and teeth, must be cleare, bright, and neat,
Her browes, eyes, priuy parts, as blacke as Ieat:
Her cheekes, lips, nayles, must haue Vermillian hiew,
Her hāds, hayre, height, must haue ful length to view.
Her teeth, foote, eares, all short, no length allowes,
Large brests, large hips, large space betweene the browes,
A narrow mouth, small waste, streight ()
Her fingers, hayre, and lips, but thin and slender:
Thighs, belly, neck, should be full smooth and round,
Nose, head and teats, the least that can be found.
Sith few, or none, perfection such attaine,
But few or none are fayre, the case is plaine.
